24/6/1882 – Admission form for Elizabeth Osborn of Kersbrook, by John Osborn of Kersbrook, “…as a patient into the Asylum under your charge.” She was 39, and her “attack” had occurred at home, and had been lasting for 8 days, said to be caused by “Bodily Weakness”, and was signed off by 2 doctors. Handwritten on the bottom of the form under State On Admission is – “General Health exceedingly frail, bed ridden” and “Mental Condition Dementia from exhaustion”, and then later added “July 2nd 1882 died of brain disease and exhaustion.”
2/7/1882 – death certif Elizabeth Osborn, 39, wife of John Ash Osborn, farmer, of Kersbrook, died of “Brain disease and exhaustion”, died in Adelaide, informant John Paynter, brother of deceased, of Adelaide.
This is a “Story” clip taken from Di Gillman’s John Ash Osborn’s file in Ancestry -
“Elizabeth Osborn nee Paynter –
Death
These
details were obtained and written about by me in the mid 1980s with source
details lost and therefore now needing verification…
After
marriage, John’s new wife Elizabeth immediately became pregnant and she
continued to have children every 18-24 months. Her seventh and last child,
Reuben, was born 11 Jan 1880 and he died from whooping cough nine weeks later.
This was extremely distressing for Elizabeth and her health, it would seem both
physically and mentally, deteriorated until she was admitted to the Adelaide
Asylum on 24 June 1882. The Admission Register records that she was “very weak
[with] marks on [her] back, evidently bedsores.”
John had
brought her to the hospital in a wagon during the afternoon and he “appeared to
take great care of her.” This caring attitude must have been unusual for it to
be commented upon in the very brief admission notes. John visited her again
that day and also two days later. There do not appear to have been any other
visitors before she died on 2 July 1882 of “braind disease and exhaustion” at
the age of 39 years.
After Elixabeth’s death, John Ash was left with six children ranging from in age fro 15 down to 3 years. The care of the house and her younger brothers and sisters would have then had to become the responsibility of the eldest daughter Rachel Elizabeth then aged fifteen. Undoubtably she had been in charge of the house and possibly her deteriorating mother for some time.”
1916 – Royal Adelaide Hospital Admissions, Herbert Osborn of Kersbrook, age 39, married, Baptist, born in SA, a Labourer, admitted as an “Emergency” 23/4/1916, disch 18/8/1916 as “Cured” of “Enteric Fever”.
1925? - A photo of “Grandpa & Grandma Osborn at Tcharkuldu Hill Wudinna”. This is Bert and Margaret Osborn, at a granite outcrop ap 3kms east of Minnipa on Eyre Peninsula, and ap 8kms northwest of their farm out the back of Yaninee, and it could’ve only been between mid 1924 and mid 1926. There is a small tree between them that looks a planted sapling, but no idea what its significance is, if any.

GRAY / PEARCE
1841 Census – Parish of Illogan Cornwall, in Tolvadden (once a copper mining area, today a housing estate just by the jn of the A30 and A3047), in one household - Sally Pearce 35 charwoman, Mahershalabhashbaz Pearce 15 copper miner, Sally Pearce 15, Alexander Pearce 13, Francis Pearce 10, all bn in Cornwall. (Every adult male on the page is a copper miner).
1/9/1892 – NSW Death certif data for Francis Foss PearceDied Dora Creek, Gosford NSW, occ gardener, age 63 (=bn 1829), bn Cornwall, in Aust 38 years, father Frank Pearce, occ miner, mother Sarah Foss.
Married in Cornwall at age 21, to Margaret Warne, living children William 40, Sarah 38, Elizabeth 37, Lucy 32, Maggie 30, Thomas 29, James 28, Albert 23. Deceased 1 male, 2 females.
Informant Sarah
Swensson, daughter, Dora Creek, cause of death consumption, length of illness 3
weeks.
Buried 3 sep 1892 at Cooranbong cemetery (C of E).
NOTES -
The
accepted facts are that the father of Francis Foss Pearce was ALEXANDER, but
his death details above (clearly him) say that his father was a FRANK Pearce,
although there doesn’t seem to be any record of a Frank Pearce marrying a Sarah
Foss about the right time in Cornwall, but there is for an Alexander.
The 1841
Census above strongly suggests that this Sally Pearce is “Sarah” Foss, but with
no Pearce adult male shown, apparently a widow? This suggests that her husband
died some time between say 1830 and 1841, but only there’s only 2 “Alexander”
possibles found in Cornwall, but the one who died at Mylor Cwall 31/5/1840 was
only 6 yrs old. The other died at Falmouth Cwall Apr-Jun 1840, but no age is
shown.
It could simply be that the “Frank” on his death details is just a mistake.
